'A great deal of fretilizer is lost
every year by destroying de
. caj'ing vegetation, instead of
incorporating it jvith the soil,
where it will furnish hnmuaand
- valuable mineral elements, thus
greatly increasing the fertility
of the soil.
Thegieater part of this de-

Nature has made a .grand pro
vision in planning, to Jiave the
leaves fall under trees and
shrubs, not only to .protect the

where it will be 'needed ...again.
